Jackal

Mk4 has been announced, and we need to talk about what it means for the future of this website. Please join the discussion either on the WMU Facebook Group or the Talk:Main Page area of this wiki.

Jackal Orgoth Light Warjack

The Jackal is a monstrous machine, an Orgoth warjack infused with the savage spirit of a ravening beast. Scarred from the ancient memory of their bitter defeat, the Orgoth sought to replicate the formidable power of western Immoren’s warjacks that thwarted their occupation after the first invasion. Lacking either the industrial capabilities or the skilled knowledge for such creations, the Orgoth Vulcars turned to infernal sacral magic, ultimately producing brutal hunting hounds for their warcasters to master and command. Far more beast than machine, the Jackals bound into battle, wreaking gruesome deaths upon all who would stand against them.

Spoilers only The only information released about this model is spoilers (so far).

Thoughts on the Jackal

New model - This article is a Work In Progress This model has only recently been released/spoilered, and the content in the "Thoughts On" section is based more on theory-machine than actual gameplay experience. Please don't delete this warning unless you (1) have played several games with the final rules (games with CID rules don't really count) and (2) you've reviewed this article and it mostly(★) matches your experiences. (★) Bearing in mind that other editors may make suggestions you don't think are the "best" but that doesn't make them "wrong". Don't delete stuff just because you disagree with it, please.
